   An act relating to the California School for the Deaf, and making
an appropriation therefor.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1856, Figueroa.  The California School for the Deaf.
   Existing law establishes the California School for the Deaf in a
northern and a southern campus as part of the public school system
under the administration of the State Department of Education.
   Existing law requires the Department of General Services to
identify state-owned real property that is or will be unused or
underutilized by the landholding agency and to list those properties
as surplus property.  Existing law requires agencies seeking to
purchase real property to renew the inventory, and authorizes the
Department of General Services to sell, lease, or exchange the
surplus property upon terms and conditions favorable to the state.
   This bill would, notwithstanding provisions of law to the
contrary, including, but not limited to, the surplus property
provisions, authorize the Department of General Services to sell to
the City of Fremont certain real property, as described, at the
California School for the Deaf, Northern California, and would
appropriate to the State Department of Education, for the 2000-01
fiscal year, the net proceeds from the sale in augmentation of
support for the California School for the Deaf for the purpose of
repairing and upgrading the middle school activity center at the
northern campus.
   Appropriation:  yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  (a) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, including, but not limited to, Section 11011 of the
Government Code or Section 118 of the Streets and Highways Code, the
Department of General Services, in consultation with the State
Department of Education, may sell to the City of Fremont the real
property described in this section for current market value upon
terms and conditions that are in the best interest of the state.  The
primary purpose of this section is to secure sufficient net proceeds
for repair and upgrade of the California School for the Deaf, rather
than to transfer the property for other suitable state or local
government purposes.  However, the Department of General Services may
transfer the property for the purpose of expansion of the adjacent
street if sufficient net proceeds will be realized for the purposes
set forth in this section.
   (b) The net proceeds from the sale of the real property at the
California School for the Deaf, Northern California, further
described in subdivision (e) are hereby appropriated to the State
Department of Education for the 2000-01 fiscal year in augmentation
of the support appropriation for the California School for the Deaf.

   (c) The funds appropriated pursuant to this section shall be
allocated to the California School for the Deaf, Northern California,
for the purpose of repairing and upgrading the middle school
activity center and any necessary and related facility improvements,
as determined by the State Department of Education.
   (d) Funds appropriated pursuant to this section shall augment
rather than supplant any past appropriations to the State Department
of Education for the California School for the Deaf in Northern
California for similar purposes.
   (e) The real property set forth in subdivision (a) is described as
follows:  approximately a 58 foot wide strip of property fronting
Stevenson Boulevard between Gallaudet Drive and Mission Boulevard, in
the City of Fremont, in Alameda County, California.
   (f) From the proceeds of the sale of property pursuant to this
section, the Department of General Services shall be reimbursed for
its costs related to the sale, including, but not limited to, any
survey costs, title transfer fees, and department staff time.
